Planted By the Word to Plant the Word (1 Corinthians 3:5-11)

Planting seed by hand can be extraordinary. In your hand, the seed looks lifeless and insignificant. You put the seed into the soil, and suddenly, all by itself, the seed germinates and sprouts and reaches to the sun. Except when it doesn’t! Plant multiple seeds, and often only some will grow.The Bible describes Christians as planted by the Word. Why do some people grow in faith, and not others? What makes Christians different? The Bible describes the supernatural process by which God calls people to faith through the gospel. He promises that his Word always accomplishes his purpose. One of those purposes is for those who have been planted by the Word to participate in the continuation of planting the seed of God’s Word so that he might grow faith in others, too.Series: What Makes Christians Different?
